The voltage, , in an electrical outlet is given
as a function of time, , by the function
,
where is in volts and is in seconds, is a
positive constant representing the maximum voltage, and is
a positive constant related to the frequency of the delivered voltage.
(a)
If , what is the average value of the voltage over 1 second?
average =
(b)
Engineers do not use the average voltage. They use the root
mean square voltage defined by
.
Find in terms of .
(Take the average over second.)
(c)
The standard household voltage in parts of Japan is 100 volts, meaning
that . What is ?
(In America, the household voltage is 110 volts, at
a frequency of 60 Hz, so that .)
